Shiny Christmas Balls!!!?!?!?!!?!

One of my favorite things to do every Christmas season is to go for a drive to see the Christmas balls.  What are the Christmas balls?  They are balls made out of wire (I think) and strands of Christmas lights, then hung in trees.  My house has 5 balls.  But there are a couple streets where the entire road has balls in their trees and it is amazing.  Every time I turn down the road, I smile and say "ahhh".  It's pretty awesome.  I also think it's a fundraiser for canned goods also.  So that is good.

So my handy assistant and I tried to capture this magic for you.  It's not as good as seeing it live but it's still pretty neat and you can listen to this wonderful tune from the Charlie Brown Christmas CD.

And here are the balls at my house (plus our reindeer) that B put up for us.  I was pretty much no help.
So do you have a street of balls in your town?
What's your favorite holiday decoration?
Did I say "balls" too much?
